At face value, this means that BOOM! and Powell are bringing us a Big Trouble in Little China comic book series, which is fantastic because it allows fans of the John Carpenter film to enjoy new adventures of Burton and the Pork Chop Express without having to worry about some young schmuck actor with a poseur’s mullet coming along in a reboot or remake of the 1986 classic. But then, what would that “more news” tidbit refer to?

Well, it could just be news about the comic, like who the writers and artists will be and all of that, which is exciting in its own right. But that won’t stop the wings of speculation from losing every feather, as BOOM!’s partnership with 20th Century Fox could mean that this is an open door to a new film franchise. After all, BOOM! began publishing a Planet of the Apes series in 2011, several months before Fox released Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and that included a promotional comic for the film at Comic-Con. BOOM! also publishes the Hellraiser series that is written by Clive Barker, and he is already set to write and direct the reboot of his classic horror series. Oh, and there’s also Die Hard: Year One, which I can’t believe isn’t already a movie.

So does this mean that Big Trouble in Little China is coming back to the big screen? Not at all. But just about every awesome movie from the 80s is being remade or “rebooted,” which is just an a-hole word for shamelessly remade, so it’s only a matter of time before the greatest movie ever made is besmirched as well.

My parents took my sister and me to see this in the theater – I was 8 and she was 6, and, along with the Princess Bride, is the movie we quote and obsess over the most. I still refuse to believe that it wasn’t a huge hit. Everyone who has ever seen it LOVES it.

Anyone interested in Big Trouble and tattoos needs to look up Paul Acker’s Big Trouble themed sleeve he recently started, and said himself is the greatest tattoo sleeve idea ever. I am just upset someone beat me to it.
